The CIFF Analysis Tool calculates farmland within an area of interest (AOI). The tool takes an area drawn on the map and intersects it with the CIF Most Recent layer. The output is a polygon and a table summarizing the intersection.
The CIFF Analysis Tool analyses the intersection of an area of interest (AOI) and the CIF Most Recent layer. A point, polyline, or polygon can be drawn on a map as the AOI. A buffer can be specified for the AOI, the default buffer value is 1 US survey mile. The tool will output a polygon displaying the intersected area and a table detailing statistics of the intersected values. The table must be downloaded or added to the Attribute Table widget to view.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Area_of_Interest |
Draw the area of interest (AOI) on the map. To draw an AOI, click the pencil icon and select a sketch tool. The sketch tools can be used to draw points, lines, and polygons. |
| Linear_Unit |
Specify a buffer distance. The default buffer distance is one US survey mile to comply with the Right to Farm disclosure. |
| Area_Intersection |
Output polygon of area of interest (AOI) and CIF Most recent layer intersection. |
| Area_Statistics |
The output statistics table shows the intersected area of interest and CIF Most recent layer. The table can be viewed once the results of the tool are ready. In the results of the tool, click on the four circles on the right-hand side of the Area Statistics table and select "Add to Table" or "Export". The table can be exported as a JSON, CSV, or as an item. |
